frezer not staying cold enough to freze newly added product

took the shelves out, unscrewed the rear panel,unpluged the thermistat and uncliped it from the line.Replaced with new thermistat in the reverse order. Before turning the unit back on,allowed the coils to defrost.All of the process was shown in your vidio that I was able to view while ordering the part. Thank you

Defrost function in freezer was not working, while the refrigerating side was warm

1. Turned off and unplugged the refrigerator.2. Removed the lower back panel inside the freezer with a screwdriver.3. Unplugged the thermostat. (No tool is needed)4. Ordered a new thermostat from PartSelect and it arrived in 2 business days.5. Plugged in the new thermostat.. 6. Put the lower back panel inside the freezer with screwdriver.7. Plugged in the Refrigerator and turned the power back on.8. It is working again!!!

defrost thermostat was open most of the time and didn't let the defrost element heat up.

Freezer wouln't start

First I removed the clamp, pulled out the part, and diconnected the two wires on the side and a small screw. Reconnected the new part with the small screw, connected the wires and plugged the part back to the side of the motor. Whaa La, Done.

Freezer was freezing solid

I first replaced the defrost timer about a week prior and it did not correct the problem. I then ordered the thermostat from partselect and within 15 minutes had the part installed. My refridgerator has been running correctly for a couple weeks.

Freezer fine, fridge too hot!

Removed the back panel in freezer compartment with the nut-driver. Then I cut off old thermostat connections, and spliced in new thermostat connections (repairman had already replaced defrost timer, and said not to trust connectors included on wires-they failed often). Then I snapped thermostat itself onto cooler coil. So far so good, fridge is running at 35-40 degrees a week later. Thanks Parts-Select!!!

Freezer frozen, refrigerator warm

removed the screws/nuts; pulled the back panel off, removed the old thermostat (wires just popped apart) replaced the new thermostat (wires just popped back on) replaced the back panel and the nuts and TaDa!!

Cooling coils would ice up and fridge would warm up

I removed the shelves in the freezer, took out the five 1/4" screws and lifted off the cover. It was a simple matter of using a blow drier to remove all the ice, then unplugging the two wires and unclipping the thermostat from the upper cooling tube. Then clipped the new one on and reconnecting the two wires.

Works great!!!

MY FREEZER WAS FROSTING UP, MY ICE MAKER WAS NOT WORKING ,AND MY FRIDGE WAS WARM.

HAD TO REMOVE ALL SCREWS ON REAR BACK COVER OF FREEZER INSIDE, UNPLUGGED REFRIDGERATOR, UNCLIPED THERMOSTAT, UNPLUGED THERMOSTAT. REPLACED THERMOSTAT WITH NEW ONE IN THE SAME LOCATION, AND LET DEFROST FULLEY. REASSEMBLED, PLUGED IN, AND TESTED. ALL WAS GOOD. BUT I DID ALSO REPLACE TIMER AT FIRST PART OF THE REPAIR SO I SUGGEST YOU REPLACE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.

freezer iced up, not defrosting, diagnosed bad defrost thermostst

Took about an hour previously to deice freezer, timer was running,drain was open, jumped defrost thermostat out and heater was O.K. Defrost thermostat was just a plug and play item, the time involved was in taking the freezer apart to get to it.
